History Day Contest welcomes area students

STAFF REPORTS

The Catskill Region History Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 8, at Unadilla Valley Central School, in New Berlin. Students in grades 6 through 12 from Herkimer, Schoharie, Otsego, Delaware and Chenango counties are encouraged to participate. This year's theme is Rights and Responsibilities in History.

Student's historical research on this year's theme may be demonstrated individually or in teams and take the form of a research paper, a performance, an exhibit, a video or a website.

Projects produced for the regional contest will go on to the state History Day contest in Cooperstown later in the spring.
